And finally, AP3 attacks are those 'can cut/crush through nearly anything' attacks. AP costs +1 CL, plus either 1w, 3w or 5w depending on the AP level chosen.)
-Draining (Adds +3 to an Attack per White stone of Health sacrified; +3. From Dio's DBZ rules.)

-Kamikaze (This attack kills you, and takes your remaining life force to empower your attack. All remaining White stones are converted into +3 bonus each, and the attack now does 2x Damage. If it already did 2x Damage it now does 3x Damage. If it already did 3x Damage, it will add +5 to the attack; +4. From Dio's DBZ rules.)
-Accumulate Energy (+2; can accumulate stones for one panel in addition to the panel the action is actually used, and user is fatigued afterwards.

ACTIONS

Unarmed Combat
CL = AN+0

DESCRIPTION
A new combat action entirely focused on fighting bare-handed via boxing, martial arts, hand-to-hand, and whatnot. Essentially a MoKF without the Weapon Modifier. Close Combat is now split in two, this being the first half, Melee Combat being the second one and dealing entirely with close quarters combat using weapons.

OPTIONS

• Catch Projectiles (+1w; You receive a +2 sitmod to catch projectiles thrown at you. If your played stones in the action match the attacker's stones, you catch the projectile without damage.)
• Balance (+1w; May combine with Acrobatics to maintain balance.)
• Blind fighting (+1w; Ignores all negative sitmods for fighting in the dark or while blinded. Buying this option also applies it to Melee Combat action.)
• Multiple Opponents (+1w; Receives a +2 sitmod when splitting stones between two or more opponents. Buying this option also applies it to Melee Combat action.)
• Create/Adapt Unarmed techniques (+1 CL; May apply a sitmod for all combat situations.)
• Substitute Mastery for Strength (+1 CL; only to break things)
• Subtitute Mastery for Intelligence (+1 CL; only for Mental Defense.)

COMMENTS
Let's get real, people who know how to throw punches don't necessarily know how to swing a sword, or vice versa. Just ask Malcolm Reynolds. This action supports the fisticuffs version of this dilemma for those enthusiasts of martial arts movies.

Rules for Action Box

• Your skill at fighting without weapons, using fists, elbows, knees and feet to beat up your opponents.
• Ability bonus
• (Insert specialties)

MODIFIERS

Attractive/Fearsome/Presence
CL = MN+1 to +2

DESCRIPTION
Attractive, Fearsome and Presence are three modifiers to Social Skills (or the Social Skills part of Statecraft) which each function differently. They represent a mix of physical beauty along with natural charisma in the case of the former and latter, and an intimidating presence along with a rather frightening appearance as for the second. Attractive only applies to positive uses of the action, such as general diplomacy, charming someone, and generally act in a friendly, social manner. Fearsome adds only to negative and menacing uses, such as Intimidate, cause unease in others, and threats. Presence adds to all uses in general and can be used effectively for positive or negative uses, representing someone who can just as easily scare you as impress you. Limited to a maximum of +3 except for species who have natural racial bonuses in Attractive, in which case it, at least, can exceed the maximum up to that level. For example, say a character from a given species has a +1 bonus to Attractive, and bought Presence at MN 3; she would write on her CAD: Presence/Attractive +3/+4. That being said, the modifier can be bought by any species, as beauty standards vary and personality counts, too.

COMMENTS
Attractiveness opens doors. Fearsome with a gun to the face opens them faster, but tend to make people dislike you. Note that not having this modifier does not make you ugly, it simply makes you less remarkable in a crowd. Physical ugliness would actually require a challenge.

Rules for Modifier Box

• Represent physical looks and strength of one's personality during social interactions.
• Attractive and Fearsome only add to positive, and negative, uses of Social Skills respectively; Presence adds to all
• Max MN of 3 unless racial Attractive modifiers apply, in which case the maximum is 3 plus said bonus.

Energy Battery
CL = MN+2

As base, meaning that each MN grants +3 to a character's max Energy. Just wanted to let you know it was available in my rules.

Deep Reserves
CL = MN+2

As base, meaning that each MN adds +1 to a character's Energy Regeneration per panel. Just wanted to let you know it was available in my rules.

Toughness
CL = MN+1

As base rules, but has a lower cost and the No AP option has three levels, like the AP advantage. Also, there is a natural maximum MN of 3 for most normal humanlike species, unless if the user has a racial modifier, in which case the maximum is 3 plus said modifier.

OPTIONS

• No Armor Penetration (+1 CL, plus 1w for 1st level, 3w for 2nd, and 5w for the third. It reads as follows: No AP 1, No AP 2, and No AP 3. Armor Penetration has to be of a higher level than the No AP modifier to ignore Toughness.

Claws
CL = MN+3

Magical Defense
CL = MN+2

Extended Lifespan
Cost = 2w

Healing Factor

As base, also Rapid Regeneration at CL = Dur AN+0 (which heals no more White stones than normal, but does have the added Energy Regen), and Superior Healing Factor version at CL = Dur AN+6 which heals 2w per panel.

Immovability
CL = MN+0

As base, but actually has a MN which applies as defense VS being moved against one's will, no longer an automatic success for a mere 3w.

Targeting
CL = MN+3

As base rules, but can be shifted in defense.

Fast-Draw

As base, but can also be used with melee weapons.

RESOURCES
CL = MN+2

(OOC: Taken from Rowlet's House Rules, who took it from Andrew's game. Credit to who made it, though I'm not sure who that is.)

DESCRIPTION
As a big mover and shaker in the world, resources must be accumulated and maintained in order to exert your own influence upon the global stage. This modifier keeps track of what particular resources a person can bring to the table, as well as marking their overall level of power within the ranks of the social and financial elite. The more resources a member possesses, the greater their chances of someday challenging for the ultimate authority within the world.

Resources are connected to a character's Wealth, in the sense that Wealth is required to actually fund and maintain the Resources at your disposal. A character's Resources modifier can never exceed their Wealth rating.

A player may select one particular Resource per MN, or increase in MN during play. Resources can change throughout the course of gameplay, as an enemy may choose to target and destroy another key player's powerbase to weaken them. Similarly, player could gain new resources if they manage to steal them from an adversary, although the total number of resources they can control at any one time is limited by their MN. If new Resources are acquired in game that bring a character's total above their MN limit, then an old Resource of the character's choice must be abandoned to make room (this represents a character spreading their power too thin, and being unable to maintain the empire they are building without trimming the fat). (Note: You can still have more resources representing stuff you acquired that you don't have a high enough AN for. However those unlisted resources are even easier to steal or destroy than normal at GM discretion. The Resourses you list are more your primary ones, or the ones you will be using the most.)

Resources that may be selected include the following:

1) Corporate Leader - The character is the CEO, Chairperson, or other chief authority figure at the head of a major multi-national corporation. While the profitability of the company depends on a member's Wealth rating, their Resources indicates how much of a global presence their company has, it's brand recognition, and levels of public awareness. Additionally, a corporate leader can select one city per Modifier Number to contain major office sites for their company, giving them potential bases of operations across the world.
Example: Jude Heartfilia (Fairy Tail-EAS) is the co-founder and CEO of The Heartfilia Konzern a trading and shipping company with offices located in the Fiorian city of Crocus as well as Los Angeles, Tokyo, London, Sydney, and Athens.

2) Loyal Aide - The character is constantly assisted by a personal aide, who helps to maintain their resources while they are busy elsewhere. An aide can be virtually anyone or anything, but their primary benefit is their total loyalty. Such an aide would never betray their employer's secrets, with the character's Resources indicating the Difficulty of any attempts by an outside party to try and force the aide to divulge sensitive information or otherwise spill the beans.
Example: PPSE Chairman Mashita's (Gundam Build Fighters) Loyal Aide is Baker a strong willed young woman and his partner in crime since he arrived on Earth, forcing Baker to share any of her knowledge about Mashita's origins and activities would be virtually impossible.

3) Powerful Enforcer - The Character keeps a powerful enforcer on a permanent retainer, so their skills can be called upon at a moment's notice. Such an enforcer can be anyone or anything, although they will be a serious combat threat in either case. An enforcer is not necessarily personally loyal to the character in question, but will continue to offer their services as long as they are being paid. Such an enforcer's combat capabilities are capped by the Character's Resources, with the Modifier Number representing the maximum Ability, Action Number or Modifier Number an enforcer can attain without feeling like their skills would attract more of a reward with a different employer...
Example: Malcomb Hargrove (Red vs Blue) maintains the services of Felix as his most powerful enforcer. But he needs to be careful that his capabilities do not outstrip his resources, meaning he might turn elsewhere for a benefactor in return for a higher paycheck or his own amusment.

4) Controlled Pawn - An unscrupulous Character might attempt to gain the services of an otherwise unwilling NPC, or someone in a position of power who would otherwise be incorruptible, by holding some kind of leverage over their head to ensure their cooperation. The exact nature of this leverage can be defined by the character, ranging from blackmail threats to holding some kind of loved one as a hostage. In any case, a controlled pawn will have no choice other than to assist the character whenever their powers or influence is called upon. The Resources Modifier Number provides the Difficulty/Resistance of trying to uncover or expose information that is sensitive to keeping the pawn under control (such as finding the location where the loved one is being held), and a pawn will almost always attempt to exact vengeance should whatever threat was being held over their head finally disappear.
Example: Wilson Fisk (Aka Kingpin) controls the police captain Olivia Benson (Law and Order verse) as his pawn, making use of her police power and pull to hinder his foes while keeping the police of his and his allies' backs. Benson only cooperates because Fisk holds evidence that could get her and her fellow detectives in the Special Victem's Unit fired and/or jailed for numerous crimes, and would almost certainly not assist the Kingpin should she have any choice in the matter.

5) Combat Team - The Character has assembled a team of superhumans or other warriors as a personal strike force to call upon. The maximum number of team members that can be commanded is limited by the Resources Modifier Number. If additional team members are recruited beyond this limit, the player will no longer be able to effectively keep control of the team, which will suffer from in-fighting and bickering. Individual team members will likely not be especially powerful, but will make up for it in effective team work and coordination.
Example: Orochimaru (Naruto) has gathered several young powerful ninja into his personal Sound Five team. He keeps as many active members as part of this squad as he can, but will need to beware adding another Ninja unless he wants The Sound Five to be plagued by in-fighting.

6) Unique Technology - The Character's position has given them access to innovative technology that is not even close to entering the general marketplace (Of their native universe), and that most people may not even believe exists yet. The Resources Modifier Number represents the maximum Abilities, Action Number, or Modifier Number of any technology obtained by a club member, although such technology is rare and can only be called upon sparingly, meaning it will usually only be available for one particular encounter that the character wishes to prepare for.
Example: Muruta Azreal (Gundam SEED) is heavily involved in the production of advanced mobile suits. Should the need arise, he could use his influence to order a number of Gundam prototypes to be called into action against a particular threat, although he would need to allow the Gundams to be recalled once their immediate use had finished.

7) Respected Status - The Character's work and reputation has earned them a highly respected status within a certain community. As their voice carries so much weight in this field, their Resources Modifier Number can be used as a positive modifier to Social Skills or any other attempt to influence the opinions of anyone within their chosen community. Additionally, a character can find it easier to meet face-to-face with someone within their field, as their peers will generally be eager to meet such a well-respected individual.
Example: Arthur Maxon (Fallout 4) is an outspoken advocate for the anti-synth movement. He can easily convince like-minded individuals to agree with his point of view, and could arrange a sitdown with other prominent anti-synth activists, such as the people of Covenant.

8) Position of Authority - Along with their position on a team or group, the Character maintains another powerful position of authority in another organization. This could range from a government position to a military rank, or a position in a private organization such as the Fairy Tail Guild. The Resources Modifier represents how much access their position grants them, acting as a Modifier to cut through any bureaucratic "red tape" that might otherwise interfere with their personal projects.
Example: In addition to his personal activities and other business interests, Mr. House (Fallout New Vegas operates as the de facto ruler of New Vegas and it's casinos and buisnesses. He can use his resources to block any attempts from the NCR, to try and dictate how he runs business, giving him free reign over the future of New Vegas.

9) Influential Connections - The character has the ear of someone in a position of power, and can use that connection to gather information as well as exert some influence over their decisions. The Resources Modifier acts as a modifier to Social Skills and other attempts to use their connections to get their way, when it comes to convincing their contact to make a decision the character would approve of. Additionally, the character will always be the first to know if their contacts discover any useful information that needs to be passed along.
Example: Jude Heartfilia is a close associate of a prominent member of the Magic Council, and can use his influence over him to easily steer the Councilman's decision making when it comes to Fairy Tail-related issues.

10) Heir Apparent - Because of many older social circles having a policy of hereditary membership, it is important for the future of the group that it's most powerful members have an heir to take their place someday. Raising someone with an ambition for power almost the equal of a Character's own can create a potentially useful ally. The Resources Modifier indicates the general level of respect the heir has managed to achieve amongst their peers, providing a line of information and connections that might otherwise be unavailable to a Character about what the younger generation are up to. An heir may not necessarily have the best relationship with their parent, but will generally cooperate if they feel they or their family status will benefit from it.
Example: Jude Heartfilia's daughter Lucy is one of the newest members of Fairy Tail and is rapidly rising in fame. Although the two have a strained relationship, Lucy will still freely share information with Jude, as long as the old man continues to let Lucy live her own life and be happy.

11) Network of Informants - The character maintains a network of spies, private investigators and muckrakers to dig up the dirt on anyone who raises their interest. These informants can generally uncover all but the most deeply buried secrets, giving their employer an advantage in any dealings with the target. The Resources Modifier Number acts as the effectiveness of the investigation, operating similarly to the General Knowledge action in terms of the extent of information that can be revealed about a target. Because of the time it takes to complete an investigation, a network of informants can only be tasked with uncovering information on one specific target per issue.
Example: Emperor Palpatine (Star Wars) is a highly paranoid man with a network of informants to keep him aware of any challenges to his power. He could task his informants to uncover whether a particularly ambitious Moff or Apprentice is plotting against him, but while they work on this job, Palpatine would be unable to use his spies to ferret out anyone else's secrets.

12) Charitable Foundation - The character has established a charity with a focus on raising funds for one particular cause. The Resources Modifier Number acts as the effective Wealth rating of the charity, representing what it earns from donations and other support without the active involvement of the club member. An unscrupulous character could leech funds from a charity to bolster their own Wealth. Additionally, being connected to a thriving charity will create a bonus +2 Situational Modifier to any social interaction when dealing with anyone who might be sympathetic to that charity's cause.
Example: Henrietta Howlet established the Secondary Hope Foundation, an international charity dedicated to helping rescue children from abusive homes. As well as providing a means of helping abused children across the world, her involvement with this charity also helps Warren in his dealings with abuse victim supporters.

13) Private Army - The Character maintains a veritable private army of well-trained paramilitary or mercenary types, acting as either standing security at their facilities or a personal strikeforce to attack whenever required. This type of private army would usually (with some exceptions allowed at GM Discretion) be human, albeit with training and the weaponry to be a threat to even metahuman/supernatural/high tech opposition. The Resources Modifier Number represents the usual number of soldiers in a "squad" whenever the army is called upon to act, although the full extent of soldiers in a club member's employ could be essentially limitless.
Example: Milly Ashford (Code Geass merged universe) maintains a private army of well-trained Piplup Pokemon, knowing many basic attacks, despite their cute appearance they are dangerous creatures when provoked into battle.

14) Secure Headquarters - Although your team may has sites across the world that it's members are free to use for their activities, your character would be wise to have their own personal headquarters to fall back to, should they wish to avoid the plotting and scheming of any rivals within the group itself. A secure headquarters can be located anywhere, and serves as a location which is either secretive, well-defended, or both. The Resources Modifier Number acts as the Difficulty for any attempts to overcome the security of the headquarters by an outside intruder.
Example: Venom Snake (MGS5) maintains the Mother Base, a repurposed oil rig offshore platform, as his personal headquarters. Should anyone actually know enough about the Snake's activities to try to infiltrate the base, they would need to overcome it's substantial security before coming face-to-face with Snake himself.

15) Financial Backing - The Character can provide their financial support to an outside project or talented individual, assisting their efforts without necessarily taking a direct hand in their work. In return for this backing, the character can expect a degree of assistance should they ask for it. The Resources Modifier Number represents the level of investment that has been given to the outside project, and so also indicates the level of help that can be expected in return. The character can also try to demand more help than their backing would really justify, although this may sour the attitudes of their partner who may choose to sever ties altogether under such circumstances.
Example: Edmund Tonne is funding the work of Dr. Gero (Dragonball) who is working on androids to combat "Alien Threats" should Edmund require it he can call on Gero to help against a threat, though he would have to be careful not to demand too much lest he alienate the Doctor with unreasonable tasks.

Power Level
CL = MN+7

(OOC: Created by Dionon, editted by me; all credit goes to him. His orignal,
unaltered Modifier and a lot of other good stuff can be found in his archives.)

DESCRIPTION
This modifier may only be taken by someone who has demonstrated a significant amount of personal power, and has established themselves as a force to be reckoned with, as someone not to mess with. Mere might is not enough; one needs to show overpowering force and resilience to be even considered for this possibility. In other words... while it may be accessible eventually, one cannot buy this without the GM's permission.

Power Level has several powerful effects. First, it acts as a secondary source of Health. When you buy it, you recieve a secondary Energy Pool consisting of 3x your Power Level MN to use as you see fit. Your secondary energy pool regenerates like normal energy regardless of bonus energy regenerating powers, but you may take a panel to power up to gather twice that amount. Secondly, when taking Damage, do damage to your Power Level first. For each White stone of Power Level damage you take, reduce your secondary energy pool by 3 and your secondary energy pool regeneration by 1. Power Level Damage regenerates at a rate of 1 white stone per hour. Thirdly, this modifier allows you to break the Two Actions per panel barrier. By placing stones into this modifier like an action box, you gain one extra action per panel per stone placed. Stones spent in this fashion remain spent until you no longer wish to spend them any more. Lastly, Power Level gives you a modicum of insight into your opponent's fighting techniques and strengths and weaknesses. For each three MN of Power Level, you gain a +1 to your Defense automatically.

OPTIONS

• Power Level Recovery (+2 CL; This increases the regeneration rate of your Power Level Energy Pool to 3 stones per 2 points of Power Level you posess.)
• Tireless Power (+X CL; You are treated as having a Deep Reserves Modifier of 1 per Cost level you raise the cost of this modifier, in regards to your Power Level Energy Pool)

COMMENTS
A true display of formidable power which truly sets apart the ridiculously power from the 'regularly' powerful ones. A very 'last boss' kind of modifier.

Rules for Modifier Box

• Gain Secondary Health and Energy Pools equal to Action Number
• Regenerate Secondary Energy Pool at 1 point per MN
• Regenerate Secondary Health Pool at 1 point per hour
• For each +3 MN, add +1 to defense

[Manah]

CHALLENGES

-Antisocial tendencies (-1 to -3; not unlike a psychological challenge, although a bit darker in nature, this challenge can represent various aspects of such a personality type: violence, manipulation, lack of remorse, etc.)
-Minority (-1; be it due to belonging to a racial minority, due to sexual orientation or non-dominant religious or philosophical beliefs, one may stand out and be troubled by others for it.)
-Love (-1 to -3; both represents how strongly one feels for their beloved, going from strong feelings of affection, to full-blown passionate love. While not a bad thing per se, it does mean one will often go out of their way to make their significant other happy... and if anything bad happens to said person, it will affect them, hard, as well.)
-Loyal (-1 to -3; you feel strongly for certain people, a group or possibly an organization, and will generally try to help them out and support them in their time of need. It could be friends, family, or any group you care a lot for.)
-Duty (-1 to -4; you are either employed by, under the orders of, or otherwise duty-bound to a cause, a group, a person or an organization. Be it your job, a military force or a large company, you are part of a bigger whole and a large part of your time is dedicated to working in their favor. The level of this challenge represents how devoted, and how much of your time and energy, you have to spend performing your duties.)
